Answer:

solution

given that

ar=8 __________equation 1

r=4

putting r=4in equation 1 we get

a×4=8

a=2

now

t4=ar^(4-1)

= 2×4^3

=2×4×4×4

Simplify using only POSITIVE exponents:

pickupchik [31]

So here are a few rules with exponents that you should know:

Multiplying exponents of the same base: $x^m*x^n=x^{m+n}$
Dividing exponents of the same base: $x^m\div x^n=x^{m-n}$
Powering a power to a power: $(x^m)^n=x^{m*n}$
Converting a negative exponent to a positive one: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}\ \textsf{and}\ \frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$

Firstly, solve the outside exponent:

$(2x^3y^7)^{-2}=2^{-2}x^{3*-2}y^{7*-2}=2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}$

Next, convert the negative exponents into positive ones:

$2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}=\frac{1}{2^2x^6y^{14}}=\frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}$

<u>Your final answer is $\frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}$ </u>

For this, just divide:

$\frac{12x^5y^3}{4x^{-1}}=\frac{12}{4}x^{5-(-1)}y^{3-0}=3x^6y^3$

<u>Your final answer is $3x^6y^3$ </u>

For this, convert all negative exponents into positive ones:

$\frac{r^{-7}b^{-8}}{t^{-4}w}=\frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}$

<u>Your final answer is $\frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}$ </u>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

decrease 7%

100 - 7% = 93

increase 12%

93 + 12% = 104.16

Mary throws a plastic disc to her friend, which her friend catches six seconds after Mary throws it. The table shows the height

natta225 [31]

Unfortunately, there is no given table. However, assuming no air resistance, the projectile moves in constant acceleration in the y-axis, while constant velocity in the x-axis. If the total time of flight is 6 seconds, then at 3 seconds the reaches its maximum height. Also, there is no given initial velocity, which means any useful calculation is impossible.
